Banks rolling out stablecoins: a new era for crypto?

Edited by: Elena Weismann

According to a May 18, 2025, report cited by @AltcoinGordon and sourced from Fireblocks, 90% of banks are actively rolling out stablecoins. This signals a significant institutional embrace of blockchain-based digital assets.

Increased stablecoin issuance by banks could boost liquidity. It may also facilitate faster fiat-to-crypto conversions, potentially driving up trading volumes and tightening spreads across major exchanges.

The report underscores a trend where traditional finance is increasingly integrating stablecoins. This integration makes them core infrastructure for settlement and cross-border payments, potentially leading to new arbitrage and yield opportunities for crypto traders.
